Q

which pt should avoid probenecid

A

pt who overproduce uric acid or with nephrolithiasis

17
Q

what drug is simialr to losartan and fenofibrate?

A

probencid - all inhibit URAT1

18
Q

colchicine MOA

A

1) binds tubulin - inhibits polymerization = prevents microtubule formation - blocked cell division
2) disrupted motility of granulocytes to affected area
3) Inhibition of leukotriene synthesis/release

19
Q

allopurinol contraindications

A

mercaptopurine
azathioprine

= purine analogs metabolized by xanthine oxidase. if given with allopurinol = toxic levels of mercaptopurine and azathioprine accumulate

20
Q

probenecid MOA

A

URAT1 inhibitor = block uric acid reabsorption

21
Q

pegloticase MOA

A

recombinant form of uricase: oxidizes uric acid to allantoin (soluble and easily excreted from kidney)

22
